Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h50m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 leftover roasted turkey carcass, plus 3 to 4 cups shredded turkey meat
1 onion, quartered
2 stalks celery, quartered crosswise (save the leaves for the Dumplings)
1 pound carrots (3 quartered crosswise; the rest thinly sliced)
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs parsley
3 sprigs thyme
Dumpling Dough, recipe follows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 shallots, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
Chopped fresh chives, for topping
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup minced mixed fresh herbs and celery leaves
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk

Steps:

  • Make the stock: Pull the turkey carcass apart into smaller pieces; set the meat aside. Put the bones in a large, deep pot and add cold water to cover, 4 to 5 quarts. Add the onion, celery, the 3 quartered carrots and the bay leaf. Tie the parsley and thyme together with twine and add to the pot, then cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook 3 to 4 hours. Remove the bones and vegetables with a skimmer and discard, then strain the stock though a fine-mesh strainer. Return the stock to the pot and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, 30 to 40 minutes (you'll have about 8 cups stock).
  • About 45 minutes before serving, prepare the Dumplings. Keep covered with plastic wrap while you make the stew.
  • Make the stew: Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Gradually add the stock, stirring, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced carrots and parsnips, cover and cook 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the turkey meat, lemon juice and green beans. Add the Dumplings in a single layer (leave as squares or pat into rounds). Cover and simmer until the Dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Ladle into bowls; top with chives.
  • Whisk the flour, herb mixture, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until sandy. Stir in the buttermilk.
  • Turn out onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
  • Cut the dough into rough 2-inch squares with a large knife. Cover with plastic wrap.

A hearty, satisfying stew perfect for those cold winter nights! The great part about this recipe is that the dumplings can be made right in the pot, so it's a one-pot-wonder in two parts. Also, the stew is great on its own if you're short on time or prefer having it with bread instead. As the title states, this is my mother's recipe, and I have never found a variation that even comes close. Don't be intimidated by the ingredient list or the cook time - it's well worth it.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup milk

Steps:

MOM'S HEARTY BEEF STEW WITH DUMPLINGS



Mom's Hearty Beef Stew with Dumplings image

My mom's beef stew recipe that she's perfected over 25 years. Tender chunks of beef couple with hearty vegetables in a rich gravy for a soul-warming treat. And Oh! The dumplings!

Provided by ambikins

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Beef

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
2 teaspoons steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®), divided
2 stalks celery, each cut into 4 pieces
2 cups water, or to cover
4 (.85 ounce) packages dry brown gravy mix
4 cups water
1 small turnip, peeled and quartered
4 carrots, peeled and quartered
7 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons shortening
¾ cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, and place the onion and beef into the hot oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, stir the meat and onions well, and sprinkle with 1 more teaspoon of seasoning. Add the celery, and cook and stir until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in 2 cups of water to just cover the meat, onion, and celery, bring to a boil, and stir and scrape the browned bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours. Remove the meat and celery pieces from the pan, set the meat aside, and discard the celery.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 4 cups of water. Add the mixture to the juices in the pot, bring to a boil, and stir the meat back into the gravy mixture. Stir in the turnip and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, cover, and simmer an additional 20 minutes.
  • To make dumplings, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture looks crumbly. Pour in the milk, and lightly stir the mixture just until it combines to form a dough.
  • Remove 2 cups of gravy from the pot, and reserve. Drop the dumplings by heaping tablespoon onto the meat and vegetables in the pot, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not peek until the time is up. Pour the reserved gravy back over the dumplings, stir lightly, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: A smaller turkey will cook more quickly and evenly. A 10-12 pound turkey is a good size for a stew.
  • Use a heavy pot: A heavy pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the stew from scorching.
  • Brown the turkey in batches: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the turkey from boiling.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If the pot is too crowded, the turkey will not cook evenly.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the turkey to become tender.
  • Add the dumplings in the last 30 minutes of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the stew hot: This dish is best served immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

Turkey stew with dumplings is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made with simple ingredients. The stew is hearty and flavorful, and the dumplings are light and fluffy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
